Summary
The documentation requires the use of the '3270 Design Tool' for generating HIDX files, which is only available for Windows (.NET Framework 4.8 required). No Linux/macOS alternatives or workarounds are mentioned, and all setup instructions assume access to this Windows-only tool. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to generate the required artifacts, creating a significant barrier for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide information about Linux/macOS-compatible tools or methods for generating HIDX files, if available.
  • Offer a web-based or cross-platform version of the 3270 Design Tool.
  • Document any possible workarounds, such as running the Windows tool in a VM or via Wine, and note limitations.
  • Explicitly state the Windows-only requirement early in the prerequisites section.
  • Consider providing sample HIDX files for testing, so Linux/macOS users can follow the rest of the workflow.
